Networking!!

hi guys
i have three computers at home and one computer, other two computers users can go online through a wireless network but they have to use my pc to print stuff.
i am wondering if any of you could help me do this:
other 2 computers connect through my computer and printer is attached to my computer i know there is a way we all can print stuff from our own computer without logging into my computer. i had done a google search but i lost the page.
and we r on wireless connection except me. i am the server and client can't print through the printer i have installed to my pc.
thnx

Ok there ar e a few ways

1) U use a print server but we have a wireless network here without using the printserver

2) You connect through your network. We set it up a couple of weeks ago
Go Start Control panel then to Printers and faxes. Right click on teh computer you want to share. Then go share this printer. Go to the other computer and what you do is go add a printer in the control panel under printers and faxes now then select a network printer in the next menu after hitting next. You will need the rest of the information yourself

Simply turn on file and print sharing in your other two computers and you will see the printer in your Network Places. Simplly send your print jobs to it and you are set.

Let me know if that doesn't help. I'll prepare a tutorial.

U need to go into the Microsoft Windows Network\Mshome or Workgroup and u will find ur printer listed there.
